Fake or real AdG?

What do you guys think of my Acqua di Gio bottle, is it real or fake?

Received this 6.7 oz bottle from some kind of giveaway recently, I guess around 1 oz is used already.
Here are some pics:










- The stem is not straight
- The sprayer is NOT leaking
- I can lift the bottle by holding it from the cap, so it's not loose

Longevity seems to be a few hours, it's not amazing but since I hadn't used ADG before I can't tell whether that's right or not. I have to say it was a very cold day, as it is winter here though.

Could anyone help me out?

Does the cap fit well and if you look at the underside closely is there a little hole in it? Also, can you rub off the print on the front of the bottle with your fingernails?

I don't see anything to indicate a fake. Why are you asking if you don't have any specific concerns?

I just checked on the stem issue and in the 200ml bottles the stem in fact does bend to the side unlike the smaller bottles that are straight. Looks totally legit, I never got good longevity with AdG myself, and that's one reason why I don't wear it. Considering this bottle now goes for $105 you got a good $80 worth of AdG for free

Yes the cap fits perfectly and the hole is also there. And I can't get the print off :P

I just wanted to be sure in case I ever want to sell it. Don't want to sell or swap fake stuff obviously

Alright, thanks for checking out! Longevity is quite poor yeah, especially compared to the fragrance I tend to wear a lot lately, which is LIDGE :')

Anyways, I know enough. Thanks everyone for helping me out!
